Signed book: The Democratic Book: 1936. Gilt-stamped leather (including “Mary Connor Myers,” the original owner), 11.5 x 14.5, 384 pages. Limited edition (limitation unspecified; this copy is No. 433), signed by Roosevelt on the limitation page beneath a watercolor vignette of the White House. In fine condition, with some scuffs to the covers, scattered soiling, and a bottom portion of one of FDR’s portraits on an inside page torn out. The signed watercolor remains unaffected. A lavishly produced promotional ‘year book’ for the Democratic Party, the publication of The Democratic Book in the Spring of 1936 was assailed by Republicans as a violation of the Corrupt Practices Act which prohibits corporations from contributing to national campaigns. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
